LEX I GOLDSMITH, OF BALTIMORE, MARYLAND.

DRAWERS AND OV'ERALLS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 331,959, dated December8, J 885,

Application filed August 7, 1885. Serial No. 173,895. (No modeLl To allwhom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LEVI GOLDSMITH. asubsubject of the Emperor ofRussia, residing at Baltimore, in the State of Maryland, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Drawers and Overalls, of whichthe following is a specification, reference being had therein to theaccompanying drawings.

My invention relates to improvements in drawers and overalls, in whichthe leg portions are cut in one piece, as hereinafter set forth, and asillustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a frontview, with one side of the upper portion unsewed and turned open,showing the same to be seamless at the side; Fig.2, a side view showinga fullness in the seat; Fig. 3, a complete front view; Fig. 4, a backView; and Fig. 5, adetail view showing how the fullness is acquired inthe seat, and that the body part is in one piece.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

The letter A designates the lower or leg portions of the drawers,consisting of a single piece of fabric, which avoids seams on the insideof the legs and in the crotch. To the part A, I arrange the upper orbody part, B, which also consists of a single piece, in such a mannerthat any desired fullness in the seat may be acquired, and the samebeing in one piece the vertical side seams are avoided on the hips. Theparts A are cut in the usual manner, except the edge that forms thejoining-seam a, which is cut higher in the back at 11 than in the frontat c, by which, in conjunction with the top part, B, cut sufficientlyfull at (I, so that it overlaps the top edge, I), (see Fig. 5,) previousto being united, it forms a fullness in the seat when the two edges band d are sewed together, the desired fullness being determined byincreasing or decreasing the amount of material at d and b.

As before stated, the body part B consists of a single piece, which isprovided with the usual top band, e, with its lower edge, f, cut tocorrespond with the curvature of the top edge, 9, of the lower part, A,infront and at the sides, but with the back portion full, or in excessthereof, whereby a fullness is there acquired, as above stated, and aneat and accurate fit secured at the front and sides when the edges areunited, which results in a continuous seam around the hips; but owing tothe said fullness the same is not binding or uncomfortable to thewearer. Where the ends of the body-piece are united, a short verticalseam, h, is formed, which is neatly sewed and stayed by the overlappingpart 0, which extends over the seam h, and which extends upward entirelyacross the body piece B, to which it is stitched, thereby preventing theseam h from ripping, and at the same time forming a neat and uniformfront. The back of the garment is provided with lacings, by which thesize of the band may be varied, and with the usual button andtie-strings.

By the arrangements herein set forth vertical side seams are dispensedwith over the hips, and having the back portions full results inproducing a comfortable garment with few seams, and a fullness in theseat to any desired extent, which is very desirable, especially inoveralls, owing to stooping, &c.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim, and wish to secure byUnited States Letters Patent, is

In drawers and overalls in which the body partis attached to the lowerpart by means of a seam extending around the hips, the lower part, A, incombination with the body part B, which is cut full in the back, inrelation to the upper edge, I), of the lower part, A, whereby anydesired fullness may be acquired. In testimony whereof I affix mysignaturein presence of two witnesses.
